Blue-green colorblind. I’ve known about it ever since I started school and couldn’t pick out certain colors. I’m now 72, and have not had any major issues with the colorblindness other than the wife *****ing at me for the clothes I decide to wear. I must admit that I have never seen a traffic signal that everyone tells me has a green light. It looks very white to me, so I stop on red, take caution on whatever color that middle light is (they say it’s amber) and go on white. However, I have never had any issues with sun glass tints. I currently ride with grey photochromatic lenses. With some shades, they actually bring out more color for me, even though I still can’t distinguish the difference with some colors.

BTW, colorblindness is hereditary and is predominantly a male issue but handed down through the female. I have one uncle, two cousins and two grandsons that are all blue-green colorblind.
